Background: wild mushrooms are an important food resource for many rural communities. Objective: to explore the local knowledge about wild mushrooms from the participatory management for the food security of the community of San Pedro Tlalcuapan (Tlaxcala-Mexico). Methodology: qualitative-participatory research, which included a dialogue of knowledge on ethnomycological knowledge and a participatory workshop. The analysis of the information was carried out through the content of the field diaries and the experience with the participants. Results: the participants showed a deep knowledge about the relationship between wild mushrooms, the forest and food. The community of San Pedro Tlalcuapan recognizes the exploitation, use and conservation of mushrooms as a survival strategy. The participants considered that mushrooms can be a local alternative to face the problems of food insecurity derived from climate change. Conclusions: there is a local knowledge that has allowed the conservation of mushrooms and the forest, which has contributed to the food security of the study area. The participants recognized the importance of giving a value not only economic, but also cultural and territorial to wild mushrooms.
